Comparing learning materials across TIPC – A contribution from TIPC MoTIL

Session
Past Event

to
17 January 2022 18:00 (GMT)

We would like to propose a panel session that can be a space to demonstrate the learning materials we are developing within TIPC on South Africa, the other TIP Africa Hub countries (Ghana, Kenya and Senegal), and Latin America. The aim is to be a follow-up and to maintain momentum from TIP conferences that took place between September and December 2021, including for example, the South Africa Forum in October 2021. We hope to reflect on the role of TIPC in developing a global knowledge platform (and knowledge infrastructure) for the development of transformative innovation more broadly. We would like to generate a debate about the enabling role of TIPC as a platform, network, and methodological approach, comparing lessons learned across different policy and geographical contexts.

Imogen Wade
Research Fellow
Science Policy Research Unit
Imogen Wade is a Research Fellow at SPRU - Science Policy Research Unit, University of Sussex Business School, UK. Her PhD from UCL was on innovation systems and the role of the state in Russia. She currently works on the Transformative Innovation Policy Consortium (TIPC) and the Deep Transition Futures projects. In TIPC, she primarily works in the Mobile Transformative Innovation Lab (MoTIL) team - a central platform or space where knowledge produced in each of the in-country work of TIPC is exchanged and consolidated - to help produce a ‘Resource Pack’. The Resource Pack will be a collection of learning materials, tools, and comparisons.
